FAU football player injured in crash

Bradenton DB Jensen fractures skull, pelvis in I-95 wreck

Florida Atlantic football player Austin Jensen remained in the hospital Monday after being injured in a traffic accident Saturday.

Jensen has a broken pelvis and fractured skull after he was ejected from a car that flipped along Interstate 95 near the Glades Road exit.

Jensen, a junior defensive back from Bradenton, was a passenger in a car driven by FAU punter Mickey Groody, and the players were on their way to FAU's annual football awards when they were hit by another car, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Groody and two other passengers in the car were not hurt in the accident.

"I have spoken with both Austin and his family and I'm confident Austin will fully recover," said FAU coach Howard Schnellenberger.

Jensen appeared in 12 games last season, mostly on special teams, and had 11 tackles.
